This magnificent work is the culmination of a project which fosters the coming together of two communitîes which have, for a long time, turned their backs on the river.
"More than a simple link between two banks, the garden offers, by way of a footbridge, the opportunity to place oneself in harmony with the landscape. It offers a an organic link with the Rhine, which it celebrates as a natural place for meeting one another, for strolling and for contentment.
By its seasonal unpredictability, the river constitutes in itself an extraordinary permanent spectacle. The Mimram footbridge is not a bridge amongst others: it is unique, because it was designed specifically for this place.
In the quest for this place, frontier on the Rhine, the bridges are the places of passing, charged with memories, which interrogate us about our relationship with one another, which here, in this Rhenish place, is always the same. The garden is to each a place of happiness, of rest, of joy in the passing of time and of things. The bridges were built, destroyed and reconstructed. The garden was planted and thrives along the thread of years. It speaks, with humility, of eternity and the changing of the seasons.
What more beautiful image could one give, than the creation, together, of a garden, a bridge an entirely common living place, shared by the two banks of the Rhine"
Michel Krieger, March 2004
